Pope to canonists: It's called Truth

"It is necessary to take account of the tendency - widespread and well-rooted though not always obvious - to contrast justice with charity, almost as if the one excluded the other", said the Pope.

Truth itself would thus tend to be seen in a functional perspective, adapting itself to the different requirements that arise in each case".
